Karla Patricia

Karla is a very bright woman and began her business of selling shoes in the “Bisne” marketplace in Chinandega. Until now she’s been able to maintain her business because she has customers who buy from her daily.

She is requesting this loan in order to invest in more shoes, particularly school shoes, as the school year has begun, and she must begin selling them immediately. She hopes that this loan will be granted so that she can continue to grow her business.

About CEPRODEL

This loan is administered by Centro de Promocion del Desarrollo Local (CEPRODEL), one of Kiva’s larger partners in Central America. Founded in 1991 and based in Managua, Nicaragua, CEPRODEL specializes in the development and funding of housing cooperatives for traditionally marginalized communities, the provision of microfinance services to small businesses, and the promotion of innovative renewable energy projects. In addition, unlike many microfinance institutions in the area that have chosen to avoid the rural areas of the country due to the increased financial risk, CEPRODEL provides financial services to numerous clients in the agriculture and livestock industry. Supporting a borrower through CEPRODEL means contributing to the promotion and sustainability of this important work in Nicaragua.
